Many parts are salvageable, despite the damage.
A Porsche Carrera GT could easily fetch more on the current market. This one is up for bidding at $362,000. However, the photos clearly show that it is in far worse condition than expected. The damage to the Carrera GT’s exterior is not too severe, as you can see. The structure beneath the driver’s-side bumper has been exposed. It also appears that the hood doesn’t fit properly. Cosmetically, the rest of car looks great. We don’t know if the monocoque, suspension or any other mechanical parts at the nose have suffered unseen damage. The cabin photo shows the passenger-side airbag that was deflated on the dashboard of the Carrera GT. This suggests a collision.
Everything else appears to be in good condition. The cabin, except for the deflated Airbag, is in excellent condition. The instrument cluster works as it should. The engine bay seems unaffected by the impact. High bidding is likely due to the good condition. Parts like the V10 engine and seats could be sold by the new owner. An existing Carrera GT owner might be able to pick it up and get a lot of spare parts. This Carrera GT is being sold by Copart, an auction site for wrecked vehicles. The car also has a salvage title. The car has an odometer reading 8,384 miles (13,493 kilometers).
Porsche produced 1,270 units Carrera GT and was given the internal designation Type980. It was powered by a naturally aspirated V10 engine of 5.5-liters. This made it the last supercar not to be electrified. It produced 603 horsepower (450 Kilowatts) as well as 435 pound-feet (590 Newton meters). The redline was 8,400 rpm. Only one gearbox option was available: a 6-speed manual.
